That is rare and wonderful thing you experienced.
But I'd have no idea how to go about making it happen.I don't know how to look for what I don't know is needed; let alone if it might be might be missing. And as the OP is finding out, the library that might be missing rarely tells someone what package it might be a part of in their distro's repositories.
